εξωτερική επένδυση ενός ρούχου


Explanation:
Κυριολεκτικά σημαίνει ''εξωτερικό κέλυφος''. Το μόνο που μου έρχεται στο μυαλό είναι επένδυση ή ίσως επιφάνεια του ρούχου. Ελπίζω να βοηθώ.

εξωτερική μεμβράνη


Explanation:
Εάν πρόκειται για ξεχωριστό ρούχο πάνω σε ένα αλλο τότε σωστά γράφτηκε από το τον Dave & την Ele ότι πρόκειται για επένδυση.
'Οταν όμως αναφέρεται στην σύνθεση του ρούχου σημαίνει το εξωτερικό στρώμα υλικού με το ποποίο επικαλύπτεται ένα ρούχο για αδιαβροχοποίηση, προστασία από τον αέρα κλπ.Δες πιό κάτω στο σύνδεσμο. Μην ξεχνάς ότι υπάρχει και εσωτερική επένδυση στα ρούχα πράγμα πιο σύνηθες.

outer shell material/ύφασμα κατασκευής


Explanation:
"outer shell", από την στιγμή που πρόκειται για κάτι "you would find on a clothing label or other similar contents description" πιθανότατα πρόκειται για το υλικό κατασκευής του «εξωτερικού μέρους του ρούχου». Χρησιμοποιείται και το "inner shell" για την «φόδρα» (εσωτερικό μέρος)

Once the pieces were all cut out it was time to sew the outer shell of the garment. Leather is a very tricky material to sew because if your stitches are too close together the fabric will become perforated and tear. It is also such a dense material that when sewing through layered seams even the toughest industrial sewing machine will not always sew with ease.
